1. How do Tigers attack Tua?

Speaking of Tua and his health, the big question will be how the Tigers attack him.

Will they elect to bring a lot of pressure and try to force him out of the pocket? Will Clemson try to bring extra guys in coverage to try and deal with his passing ability?

In my opinion, I think you’re going to see Brent Venables dial up pressure and try to make Tua uncomfortable.

The Tigers just aren’t good enough in the secondary to straight-up cover those Alabama receivers. It’s going to take pressure and that’s what I think we’re going to see a lot of Monday night.
